Re: Style Tag, and JavaScript Clash

My question may be far too simplistic for this group.  If so, and anyone
knows of another list, please let me know.

I began using the Style tag, to position tables, graphics, etc. on my page.
However, I have come into a problem.  This works wonderful in Explorer, but
not in Netscape.  Any JavaScript commands that I position directly with the
style tag - or that are within a table that I position with the style tag -
become disabled. (particularly in the area of scrolling scripts).

I see a lot of talk here about CSS2.  I was just becoming familiar with CSS
in general (and have much to learn).  Is there a newer style command, for
positioning - or some other command that allows for such precise
positioning - that does not interfere with scripting?

Thanks!
